NathStPaul My brother (who supports Hull) has tried to justify it by saying the last third of the season wasn't great at all

first 1/3 of season - 23 points
middle 1/3 of season - 22 points
last 1/3 of season - 25 points
(then they lost the last games of the season)

no matter what your expectations really (Leicester aside), if you are going along around 6th place most of the season you can't knock that. It takes a lot of hard work, good appointments, solid organsisation and a bit of luck here and there to be in with a shout of the play offs until the final day....

Girona are IN! the Champions League next season having qualified in only their 4th ever season in La Liga

4 games left to play and they could also be the first Catalan team to finish above Barcelona since 1942

3-0

Casemiro has become a real banter player

Leverkusen equalled Benfica's unbeaten record with a 5-1 away win at Frankfurt - 48 unbeaten in all competitions. They were unplayable yesterday and with Bochum (a) and Augsburg (H) to play, you would be a brave man to bet against them completing the league season undefeated. You would also expect ...

3rd win in a row for mine and El Franquicia's boys, FC Cartagena, and you would think that should be enough to avoid relegation really. What a 2nd half of the season! they won just 1 of their first 17 games they had 9 points and were somewhat adrift at the bottom. In the 15 games after that they got...

West Ham have conceded more goals than every team in La Liga, every team in Ligue 1, every team bar one in Serie A and every team bar one in the Bundesliga.

BiROFLmingham

7 of the bottom 8 all winning. Crazy last day.

With 15 to go it's Birmingham who are heading down (yay!)

Dutch 2nd Div - Roda JC get the win they need to secure promotion, pitch invasion at the final whistle, much delirium ensues....but wait, while the fans are on the pitch celebrating, elsewhere Groningen score a 95th minute equiliser in their game meaning they are 3 points behind Roda and with a bett...

Troyes, about to have a 2nd successive relegation, have their game abandoned as fans keep throwing flares on the pitch to stop play

Their fans are already pretty angry at the club being bought by City Group.

Sounds like Buzz Killington has taken over

50% of being a football fan now is just discussing VAR and FFP

Turkish Super Lig still running at a crazy pace, though Fenerbahce recently drew which helped Galatasaray take a 4 point lead, giving them a cushion of being able to lose one of the last 4, which could help as the top 2 are still due to play each other most points ever in a season in that league is ...

as a very casual observer of Scotch football can someone help me understand why there is a clamour from the rubbish sides to make it into the top half of the table for when the split happens? (or is there not a clamour and its just a media thing) Its surely much better to be the best side in the bot...

Luton Vs Everton tonight, and also Bolton Vs Barnsley in the play offs!

Polish 2nd Division side Wisla Krakow just won the Polish cup, scoring an equaliser in the 93rd and a winner in the 99th. Qualifies them for Europe too.

actually genuinely heard 'away goals count double' just recently.
